Hormone Therapy

Hi Blissy

Sorry I haven't replied until now. I thought I would get email notification if there were replies to comments I made but I guess not.

You still have such frequent Hot Flushes - that sounds really annoying. I have been on triptorelin for 7 months and tamoxifen for 2 months. I got mild hot flushes when I started on the triptorelin which had mainly faded but then started again with the tamoxifen.

I am not getting them as frequently now as I was a just few weeks ago, or as badly. They make me feel panicked/unable to cope as well as too warm and they often seem to be brought on by stress or thinking negative thoughts. I usually have just a few a day.

The only other definite side effect I have is a headache which I have had most of the time since starting the tamoxifen.

My feet are somewhat sore but only the same as they were back before I was diagnosed with cancer. I am a runner & tend to have a lot of issues with my feet. I feel a bit nervous about these being made worse. Did they say how exactly the triptorelin could make your feet sore?
